You can edit the
vcmnu file with VCADD’s configuration editor, which is accessible from
the Utilities menu on the DEFAULT menu. You’ll have to switch back to
DEFAULT to find it. Here’s a few hints for adding the menu items:

·Use Custom.vcmnu as
a reference for the commands that you want to add.

·The configuration
editor is MDI so you can have allcommands4.vcmnu and custom.vcmnu open
at the same time, switching between them with the Windows menu.

·An easy way to copy
menu <Item> elements is to select them in the left hand tree,
right click and choose Copy

·Likewise, copies can
be inserted by selecting the insertion point in the tree, right
clicking and choosing Insert After or Insert Before

Make sure to save
the file before using it. You don’t have to restart VCADD to see the
modified menu, just right click on the VCADD menu and select it.

If course, the run macro choice
will nit be in my new menu. That menu was built before V6. I will have
to learn how to add it.

Thanks Ed and Adrian. It is
converted and works fine. It's a great menu.

According to the help on Macros, there should be a "run Macro" in the
utilities tab. It is not there or I am misinterpreting the instructions.
I'm trying to run the Nativelist macro.

Ed's advice on how
to convert the menu is correct. Just add the mnu file to the Menus
folder and then right click on the VCADD menu. Your allcommands4 menu
should be in the list. VCADD will convert it automatically when you
select it.

V6 includes a sample
macro called NativeList which will create a text list of all of the
native commands, along with their shortcuts. That list can be imported
into your favorite spreadsheet and massaged to give a command/shortcut
cross reference. There is also a macro called 2L_Spy which will
provide the command info for a given shortcut. That macro could be
modified to go from command to shortcut.

Another way to go
from command to shortcut or vice versa is to use the AS dialog. The
native command list at the right has the commands and shortcuts in it.
When that control has the focus you can type the first letter of a
command to go to it. To search by shortcut instead of command, click
the SC column header to change the sort order.

One of the members created a
menu for Vcad that worked through ver 5 but does not work with ver 6.
It was called " allcommands4 ". It was a great menu because it gave you
options, well beyond the base menu supplied.

The current help file is remiss, in that when you ask about a command,
it does not show the shortcut for same. That one befuddles me.
So then you have to search around for the shortcut code or just open
Vcad 5 to get it quickly.

Has someone emulated the above mentioned menu, or is there a conversion
for Vcad 5 menus?
Thank You
